I could not believe my ears when my friend told me that he has athlete’s foot. As I understand he is a very health conscious individual and give priority to his health matters above anything else. He had told me a few days back he had the infection on his feet and that it is negligible. I told him that the feet or other areas of the body stay moist, warm, and become irritated; it is the best place for fungus to thrive which may infect the upper layers of the skin. I am aware that fungi infections can occur almost anywhere on the body. I advised my friend not to get panicky as it is not a serious problem and to consult his doctor immediately.
